G&T

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 05:35 PM) So 127 hours wasn't good. No it really wasn't. I actually thought it was ok until the end when it just sort of...ended. That sounds strange since we know how it ends, but it just seemed abrupt.

Funky cave aged cheddar? Check Rodenbach Flemish Red? Check Happy G&T? check Oh and my dog loves funky cheese. Gotta be the smell.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) Bulls have looked horrid all series. Rose is being too much of a hog and the offense is way too stagnant. This is just disgusting. I hope it is just Indiana matching up well agains the Bulls because if they play like this, they won't make it much furhter in the playoffs. Rose wasn't hogging anything in this game. No one could make a shot in the first half. I don't know if there is another team in the playoffs that is this offensively inept. They are missing wide open shots.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:20 PM) Wow, you get Boozer open for 3? Crappy job there. That wasn't the call. It was a third option. Deng couldn't get to the outside and then fumbled the ball. He should have called a timeout. Korver was open but once Deng lost control of the ball he wasn't going to find him.

Bulls shooting 11% from 3. 2-17.

Korver's 3 disallowed. Down 16 now. I think the Pacers have sealed this one.

Deng could hit a shot too if you don't mind. This one is getting ugly.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 06:28 PM) There's definitely a market... I don't know how anybody could think otherwise While your supposition may be true, there are rules to determine these things and a party to a lawsuit isn't going to admit to a question of fact in an email to customers. Markets are based partially the reasonable substitutability of the product. If a football game were too expensive, would you buy a baseball game instead? Some would, others wouldn't. If you only had $50 and Madden costs $60, but some other game cost $50, would you go home empty handed, or buy the other game? I could easily say that all sports games are "reasonably interchangeable" because I am sure there are plenty of people that would buy what they could afford. In reality, I don't doubt that there are enough people that would only spend their money on a football game to establish it as a separate market. Interestingly, would you say the same about a baseball or basketball game or any other sports game?

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 03:52 AM) I thought the lawsuit was over EA's monopoly on football games? I dont remember hearing about how much they charge If the suit is in founded under anti-trust laws then the price is only important in creating standing for consumers. It sounds like you are right. THere is an allegation that EA monopolized the "football video game" market. Part of the legal argument will be whether such a market actually exists (which is why they have to say "alleged". it has nothing to do with arrogance). EA will argue that the only market is the "video game" market or a "sports video game" market so that their ownership percentage will be low enough to withstand the anti-trust claim.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) I'm not going to lie, I'd probably lie like hell. If you don't use it regularly and used it a few times in college, putting it down is probably going to create more work than you'd want to deal with and no one would ever know that you lied. I knew a guy who was applying to the policy academy and they asked him if he ever smoked marijuana, he said one time (which was true, he tried once in his entire life). They told him he'd have to reapply at a later date. I don't know more details than that. How long was it between the use and application?

Refs making sure the bulls don't have anyone on the floor by the fourth.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 12:38 PM) G&T its a tough decision. Especially if there is a concern that a character reference will explicitly state it. I personally did not reveal information that I did not feel was traceable. I also did not use any references that could say any bad things about me. I had a few situations that I had to disclose, but most of them were when I was young so it was not a big deal. Im not sure I know anyone who has said yes to that question, Ill try and ask around, but my guess is that everyone denies all drug use. Thanks. I don't think it's a real concern that anyone will say anything but I don't want to worry about it. Like NSS said, getting caught in a lie is way worse. I'm admitted in NY and they didn't even ask this question. Having said that, it sucks to know that being honest can cause more problems than lying.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 11:08 PM) If it was years ago, and you didn't get in any sort of trouble for it so it's not traceable, I don't know why you'd admit to it. You may be forced to write a letter of explanation or something perhaps. But if the only way they can see if you are lying is by hooking you up to a lie detector, which I'm pretty sure wouldn't happen, I don't know what admitting to it does. I figure it would raise more red flags by checking yes? You might want to get an answer from someone that did answer yes on it, especially on the WI bar, however. It is potentially traceable in that a couple of my character references know that I did. They are attorneys now and know the deal, but I can't tell them to lie for me.

I am applying to the WI bar. It asks if I ever used marijuana. Of course the answer is "yes" while I was in college. It was only a couple times actually and haven't touched it since. I am going to admit to it though they wouldn't find out, but lying is probably worse than admitting it. Anyone have any experience with this? Do they actually care at all?

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 01:41 PM) Last night for dinner before heading to the bulls game I went to longman and eagle and thoroughly enjoyed a glass of La Chouffe and Westmalle Triple and topped it off with a delicious pork belly confit... i felt like i was in heaven Oh my god. That sounds amazing.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 10:22 PM) No goals in this series from Kane, Toews or Hossa. Toews had 1 point in his last 9 games coming in to tonight. Doesn't help when Kane is missing open nets. And Hossa is moving real slow.

This game is everything the Hawks wanted. High energy, dumb plays by the Canuck with bad penalties...and they are losing.

Wasted power play and now down 3-2. Trying to be too damn fancy.

Well there's no doubt that people put in a lot of effort to get the ingredients right in these drinks and faking it just does not give the right results.

That's an awful turn of events. Hawks have had the opportunities and didn't capitalize. Down 2-1 in the matter of what? 1 minute?

I have to admit to cheating in my drinks. For a while, I replaced dark rum with some form of Appleton. I wanted to find Coruba (since everything seems to call for it), but it isn't sold here, so I finally bit the bullet and got some Myers. I mixed up a hurricane last night using the Myers and oh. my. God. It's far richer and with coconut and banana notes. I basically slurped that whole thing down in a couple gulps. Oh course, it didn't seem to work in the dark and stormy. A bit bland. Could be the ginger beer, or the rum. I also had a full blown syrup day. Simple, turbinado, passion fruit and orgeat. I'm set for a while.

Murph and Huebner eh? That's must avoid radio.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 11:37 PM) Just wait until all of the bandwagon Bulls fans come out of the woodwork during their playoff run. In fact, I bet it's a lot of the same fans. Hi.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 04:53 PM) OMG what the f*** is this crap? First half highlights to a godawful 12 second version of I think Faith Hill or someone like her trying to sing the opening lyrics of Zeppelin's "Black Dog"? It's not faith hill. The promos show her and I don't know who it is, bit she certainly should not be covering Zeppelin.

My father in law has started home brewing and sending samples to me for my opinion. Not a bad situation. He's just starting and the beer, while generally good, sometimes misses the style mark. Not easy to tell your father in law that his abbey ale is way too hoppy. Of course I gave him notes on his Saison a while back and now it is pretty awesome.
